Docai, Riley Badnin, Justin Brunings
Computer Science and Software Engineering
DocAI presents a user-friendly platform for recording, transcribing, summarizing, and classifying doctor-patient consultations. The application utilizes AssemblyAI for conversational transcription, and the user interface allows users to either live-record consultations or upload an existing MP3 file. The classification process, powered by 'ml-classify-text,' organizes the consultation transcription into SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) format – a widely used method of documentation for healthcare providers. The result of this development is a simple yet effective interface that effectively plays the role of a medical scribe. However, the application is still facing challenges of inconsistent summarization from the AssemblyAI backend. Future work …

Pomegranate: Procedural 3d Tree Creation Via User-Defined L-Systems, Jeremy Berchtold
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Pomegranate creates procedural 3D trees based on a user-specified template. The template supports randomness and allows users to generate an entire forest of unique trees from a single template. The output trees are a single closed mesh without intersecting geometry (with the exception of leaves). Additionally, the output contains a skeletal rig used for animating the trees. Pomegranate produces textured trees that can use either a realistic or stylized look, as well as supporting different mesh densities for games or film. Since this project uses a procedural workflow, artists can quickly create and make edits to their trees. This increase …

Bipartite Graph Packing Problems, Collin Christopher Wong
Bipartite Graph Packing Problems, Collin Christopher Wong
Computer Science and Software Engineering
The overarching problem of this project was trying to find the maximal number of disjoint subgraphs of a certain type we can pack into any graph. These disjoint graphs could be of any type in the original problem. However, they were limited to be T2 trees for my research (T2 trees are defined in section 2.1 of the paper). In addition, most of my work was focused on packing these T2 trees into constrained bipartite graphs (also defined in section 2.1 of the paper).
Even with these specific constraints applied to the overall problem, the project still …

Brushless Direct Current Motor Control For Inspired Flight, Aidan James Mccoy
Brushless Direct Current Motor Control For Inspired Flight, Aidan James Mccoy
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Brushless direct current motors have become a very common part of many modern electronics. Although they are more expensive and less robust than conventional brushed direct current motors, they provide large advantages in control, power output, longevity as well as efficiency. To make these motors run, they need more than just power. Each motor needs a separate motor controller that is responsible for taking in a signal for what speed/torque to run the motor at, and then managing the current flow to the motor to keep it spinning while fitting within these boundaries. Brushless direct current motors have a set …

A High Quality, Eulerian 3d Fluid Solver In C++, Lejon Anthony Mcgowan
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Fluids are a part of everyday life, yet are one of the hardest elements to properly render in computer graphics. Water is the most obvious entity when thinking of what a fluid simulation can achieve (and it is indeed the focus of this project), but many other aspects of nature, like fog, clouds, and particle effects. Real-time graphics like video games employ many heuristics to approximate these effects, but large-scale renderers aim to simulate these effects as closely as possible.
In this project, I wish to achieve effects of the latter nature. Using the Eulerian technique of discrete grids, I …
